Logic. Ya can’t beat it.
Here’s another call-in from our weekly paper.
they still did it
by Anonymous Caller
The person that
(commented) that
banning hand guns
the criminals
would get them
then he used
driving drunk,
well,
they banned that and
they still did it.
Like you said,
criminals would get
their hands on them
if they wanted.
That’s the answer to your question.
They’d get them
whether you banned them
or not.
Makes you feel kind of sad, doesn’t it? But you can’t argue with logic. Or with syntax and grammar so poor, you’re not entirely sure what was just said.
SPECIAL BONUS CALL-IN:
I’m calling about the Ryan’s old restaurant, and I would like to see a family restaurant go in there, like a Hooters…. [emphasis mine]
I’m posting at Fatal Foodies today with my recipe for dill pickles.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write about a gun.

Guns. Not a fan. Though I can shoot pretty well. And I appreciate a nicely engineered tool anytime. Even though the NRA, via Congress, has refused funding for the CDC to collect statistics on guns and gun violence, it’s still pretty clear that more people are injured or killed with citizens’ guns than any sort of instances where a gun prevented an injury or killing. Or robbery or home invasion.
Don’t know if this story is true or not, but it feels true:
Polls show that the average gun owner will say, “Yes,” when asked if everybody has a right to own a gun. When asked if his/her neighbors should have guns, the answer is, “No way.”
